Episode 4 Story

Shinobu Uzuki, a member of the broadcasting club and the student council vice president, is known for constantly receiving all kinds of requests and consultations from those around her. With her composed demeanor and strong sense of responsibility, Shinobu has earned deep trust from her peers. However, she also has a hard time turning people down when asked for help. As a result, she often ends up taking on more work than anyone else in her role as vice president.

As the school prepares for its first sports festival since becoming coeducational, Shinobu finds herself overwhelmed with tasks that keep her busy late into the night. Meanwhile, preparations for the sports festival are also underway in the broadcasting club. Concerned about the growing burden on her, the other club members ask if she is really all right, but Shinobu reassures them with a smile.

Seeing through her brave front, Arisu quietly takes Shinobu to a secluded place away from prying eyes.

Introduction

Late at night, alone on his bed――
only your voice was his salvation.

Arisu Yamabuki, the heir to a powerful conglomerate, strives for perfection in everything he does. Yet he continues searching for the final “1 percent” he needs to become 100 percent perfect. That missing piece was Apollo, the streamer behind the radio program Midnight Heart Tune, whose voice Arisu listened to night after night.

However, at the end of her first year of middle school, Apollo suddenly stopped streaming without telling Arisu anything.

Then comes the spring of Arisu’s second year of high school. Carefully laying his plans, Arisu enrolls at Furin High School, which has just transitioned from an all-girls school to coeducational. The only clue he has about Apollo, whose face and real name he does not know, is her voice.

One day, guided by a familiar voice, Arisu rushes to the school’s broadcasting club. There, he finds four girls who dream of working with their voices.

Rokka Inohana, who aims to become a singer.
Nene Himekawa, who wants to be a voice actress.
Iko Kirino, who is active as a VTuber.
Shinobu Uzuki, who aspires to be an announcer.

And yet, each of the girls carries a trace of Apollo――!?

Arisu declares that he will make all four of their dreams involving their “voices” come true, in order to fulfill the promise he once made with Apollo.

Thus begins a story of voices, dreams, and determination, shared by Arisu and four girls who pursue their dreams with unwavering dedication.
